The camp project is supervised by a steering group including:
• The Association of people from the island of Mandø
• Wadden Sea National Park
• The Municipality of Esbjerg
• The Danish Agency for Nature
• The Danish Fund for Nature.

The Wadden Sea National Park was established in 2010 and is Denmark's biggest national park (1459 km2). The aim is to conserve, protect and strengthen the natural and cultural-historical values of the area and support a sustainable development, which can be beneficial for guests, local development and the local population. The Wadden Sea National Park is born into the trilateral collaboration with Denmark, Germany and Netherlands to protect the Wadden Sea.
The Wadden Sea is also UNESCO World Heritage – world heritage shared between Denmark, Germany and Netherlands - stretching over 500 km from Ho (Denmark) in the north to Den Helder (Netherlands) in the south.

The island of Mandø (8 km2) is located in the middle of the Wadden Sea in Denmark and the highest point (the dunes) is 12 m above the sea. It is a unique island with 30 local inhabitants and some tourists, mainly day-trippers, during summer, autumn and spring.
There are no bridges or ferries to the island, instead, you can drive by bicycle, car or tractor two times a day, when the tide is right.

People on Mandø are very active. They live in the village of Mandø and have organized themselves into local associations which aim for protecting the natural and cultural values of the island of Mandø as well securing workplaces, setting up local events and activities for the local population, visitors and tourists. On the island of Mandø, you will find a café, a bed & breakfast, a (small) camping site, an inn, a small hostel, some summer bungalows, a few farms, a church, a museum, a small grocery and open, friendly people, who are used to do things together and help each other. You can walk around the island in 1,5-2 hours.

Everything from theatre, handcrafts, general intimacy and colours and vitality are valued at the festival. Thus, the festival is considered a family and children friendly place to be.
